In Ye Qing's vision, an energy service center could not only meet the needs of up to 200 Thunderbolt owners, but at the same time, they could also stop and charge in a dedicated charging area.
It also had to shoulder the maintenance work of the Thunderbolt car. It also had to have enough leisure and relaxation facilities. It was a unique attraction.
It couldn't be like a traditional highway service area, where the owners could only refuel, eat, wash the car, and refill the water.
That would be uncharacteristic and not very attractive.
Ye Qing had just calculated the current profits of Monster Industries, and the cash reserves had reached 100 billion. Once the energy service center plan was officially launched and built, the money would flow faster than gambling in Las Vegas. Even a large amount of follow-up profits would have to be filled in in the future to meet this plan.
With such an amazing investment, Ye Qing certainly wouldn't allow an ordinary and mediocre energy service center to be built.
Ye Qing wanted the energy service center to become the business card of Monster Industries and become a landscape. No matter who saw it, they would have to praise it. No matter who went, they would have to linger in amazement.
The renderings were opened, and an irregular diamond-shaped and triangular building with unequal sides appeared on the dream display.
At first glance, it looked like a few irregular gems placed there casually. A miniaturized nameplate pillar in the shape of the Monster Industries building indicated the identity of this pile of buildings.
Around the building were three rectangular parking areas covered with shaded ceilings. Each parking space was equipped with a high-power charging electric pile. As long as the user parked the car in the parking space, they could charge it by themselves.
The charging fee was directly deducted from the smart assistant's wallet.
"I intend to use a modular construction plan for the construction of the energy service center." Ye Qing clicked the mouse, and the energy service center on the display suddenly flew away, turning into pieces of translucent glass of the same specifications and several types of round square steel.
"The materials will be provided by the factory, and the factory will also provide a Mechanical Colossus Type I for the construction and installation."
"Let's not talk about the energy service center on the highway for the time being. In the 23 provinces in the country, I want to see at least 70 energy service centers start construction in half a month."
Ye Qing gave orders to the construction manager, Wu Xiaofan, and looked at the sales manager, Kong Tao.
"Now, our Thunderbolt car sales can only rely on the cooperation of large auto companies. When the Energy Service Center is completed, I plan to sell the Thunderbolt car as well. That way, we can increase the quality of the Blitz. Manager Kong, contact those car dealers who want to cooperate with us further. If they want to set up Thunderbolt car 4S stores, they have to set up their stores in the service center and accept our supervision. "
Kong Tao thought for a few seconds and then nodded in agreement. "Boss, this is a good plan. The other car manufacturers have 4S stores all over the country. Our Thunderbolt car has just started, so naturally, we don't have any 4S stores. We can only work with large automobile companies. "
"Without a 4S store, consumers will always feel that there is no guarantee for after-sales service. However, it's too troublesome to set up a traditional 4S shop. If we put it in the Energy Service Center, not only will we have an additional income, we can also use the fastest speed to set up a large number of 4S shops all over the country. "
"No problem, boss. Now, there are countless car dealers who want to work with us. During the meeting, the phone in my pocket vibrated six times. "
…
After the morning meeting, Ye Qing called the General Manager of the Purchasing Department, Qiu Yi, to his office.
He was also present at the morning meeting, but some things were not good to say in front of everyone.
During the meeting, other than talking about work tasks, everyone was looking forward to the Thunderbolt car beating Mercedes-Benz and BMW. But in fact, if the material problem was not solved, the Thunderbolt car could beat Tesla, but it was impossible to take back the high-end car market in Hua Xia.
Wasn't Ye Qing willing to take out all the profits to invest in the Energy Service Center for this goal?
The material problem was naturally the supply of dysprosium metal.
Although the monthly supply of dysprosium metal had increased from one ton to three tons, according to the amount of dysprosium metal needed for the reduced version of the plasma battery of the Thunderbolt car, it was only enough to produce 30,000 cars per month. If they were to produce the complete version of the plasma battery, the consumption of dysprosium metal would be even more astonishing.
The plasma battery of the Thunderbolt car had already shrunk to the minimum, with only one-tenth of dysprosium metal added. 30,000 cars per month, only 360,000 cars per year. This amount was less than one-tenth of Volkswagen's annual sales volume.
Without enough numbers, the Thunderbolt car would not be able to take the high-end car market share in the Hua Xia market.
In the office, Qiu Yi stood in front of Ye Qing and sighed for a long time: "Boss, I didn't do what you asked me to do. In the past few days, I contacted many electronic raw material suppliers in Japan and South Korea. None of them were willing to sell dysprosium metal, even at a premium of 50%. "
"They also asked me, the main supplier of dysprosium metal in the international market is Hua Xia. Why do we have to buy from the foreign market in Hua Xia?"
"No one sold at a premium of 50%?" Ye Qing had some doubts. Didn't these capitalists only recognize benefits and not nationality?
"It may be related to the dysprosium metal fluctuation in the Hua Xia market." Qiu Yi explained: "The Bureau of Mines deliberately reduced the international export share of dysprosium metal to supply us. Now these foreign electronic raw material suppliers are all holding dysprosium metal like a treasure. They don't even have enough for their own use. How can they be willing to sell? "
Ye Qing also sighed and waved his hand to signal Qiu Yi to go back to work.
There were 100,000 machine guns, but not enough bullets. This was Ye Qing's current mood.
Sitting in the mechanical engineering chair, Ye Qing turned around and looked out the window with some worry.
The office was on the 66th floor. Looking down from here, the crowd in the square below was not much bigger than grasshoppers. However, there were a lot of people gathered in the square. Every time a brand new Thunderbolt car was driven out of the underground parking lot by a buyer, there would always be a lot of people surrounding it, making it impossible for the buyer to move.
These buyers were the lucky ones who started early.
Cars were different from ordinary products. Although the orders in the flagship store were lined up for two months, the buyers who bought the car before still had a third of the procedures not completed.
Without thinking, Ye Qing knew that the people surrounding the lucky car owner were all tycoons who wanted to buy the Thunderbolt car at a high price.
… …
Not everyone could resist the temptation of being able to earn hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, just by reselling their assets.
At least a third of the tycoons who were willing to buy the car at a high price achieved their wish.
Soon ~
There was one more person in this third.
Cheng Han, who was 29 years old this year and planned to marry his girlfriend next month, was the lucky buyer who just drove the Thunderbolt out of the underground parking lot.
He was able to buy the elite version of the Thunderbolt on the first day it went on the market. There were not too many complicated reasons. The main reason was that his parents worked in the electricity department, and the electricity at home was free.
Cheng Han's girlfriend had no objection to spending more than 400,000 to buy an electric car. Now there were videos related to the Thunderbolt car everywhere on the Internet. Whoever could drive a Thunderbolt car would have more face than driving a Mercedes-Benz.
After waiting in line for the procedures until today, Cheng Han finally drove the Thunderbolt.
But who would have thought that as soon as Cheng Han left the parking lot, a group of bosses with accents from all over the world surrounded him and were willing to buy Cheng Han's Thunderbolt car at a high price.
The highest price someone offered was 650,000 yuan, which really scared Cheng Han.
It was not until this person, who spoke a mixture of Chinese and English, who looked like a returnee who had lived overseas for many years, transferred 650,000 yuan to Cheng Han's bank card through many online transfers that Cheng Han reacted like a dream and planned to drive this guy to the vehicle management office to transfer the ownership.
"I'll make a phone call first." The returnee, who was not familiar with Chinese and English, smiled and took two steps to the side.
The call was made overseas. When the call was connected, the returnee said in fluent English, "Mr. Lauder, everything went well. I will drive the Thunderbolt car to the designated port at eight o 'clock tonight."
